Cluverius has gone, and if man
ever deserved hanging he did. He
not only did murder, but he did it
under circumstances of the most re-
voting character. His social infu-
ence gave him an unusual chance
for his life; but, to the credit of
Governor Lee and State of Virginia
those influences could not save him.
he ruined a fair young kinswoman,
cast her Adrift, and to silence her
uncertainties for protection brutal
ly murdered her.
There are men of the Cluverius
kind who stop short of numbering
their victims, but they deserve q
punishment little short of hanging.
Like famished beasts they seek their
prey and devour it, and society does
not treat them as though they had
done anything very bad. But God
help the unhappy woman in the
case-society has no pity for her
The scarlet letter is branded on her
breast, and from that badge of infa-
my there is no escape this side Of
the grave. No man can assign 9
reason for the discrimination, but
countless men profit by it.-Intelii
